How do I convert multiple STX files to SGI?

The quick and simple way to handle your files is to get a quality piece of software, such as reaConverter.
This software is extremely efficient in managing a wide range of batch conversions.
As you will soon realize, reaConverter will help you avoid spending countless hours trying to figure out how to convert multiple STX files as once.

Download and Install reaConverter

Load STX Files

Start reaConverter and load all the .stx files you intend to convert into .sgi because, as opposed to most free online converters, reaConverter supports batch conversion. So you can save the time and energy you would lose with doing repetitive operations.

Select STXs from a folder or by drag-and-dropping them directly into the reaConverter window.

Choose Output Folder

Go to the Saving options tab and decide where you want to save new .sgi files. You can also spend a few more moments to apply additional editing to the images prepared for conversion.

Select SGI as Output Format

Then pick the SGI as output format. To help you do this, a series of buttons is conveniently placed at the bottom of the reaConverter window, so you can simply press on the one you need or click + Plus button to add new options.

Then simply press the Start button and your conversion will begin in no time!

STX files represent RAW images created with SBIG CCD cameras. They are part of a group of formats known as Santa Barbara Instruments Astronomical Images,... See more also including ST5, ST6, ST7 and ST8. Apart from astronomy, SBIG cameras can also be used in medical imaging, color photometry and a few other scientific and industrial sectors. All formats in the group are considered specialized and rare, so opening STX files might be possible only after conversion to more widely available extensions.
